This is an annual January Loma Prieta Peak Climbing Section tradition. It's a 12-mile round-trip to the summit of the peak. We'll be carpooling from San Jose for this trip as it is a 150 mile drive to the trailhead.

This peak is the highest in the Santa Lucia range.
On the summit\, we'll find exotic ponderosa pine\, white fir\, and other plants normally associated with the Sierra. We'll start at the trailhead at 10AM\, summit by 2PM and be back at the cars by 4PM. This is a class 1 day hike open to all.

Bob Burd describes the Sierra Challenge as something he &ldquo\;conceived&hellip\; as a personal challenge that was at the edge of my own abilities\, and wanted to share the experience with others who might similarly enjoy a good workout. Besides\, suffering is more fun if you have someone to share it with.&rdquo\; 10 days\, 10 peaks.
